Event Details

This seminar will focus on recent collaborative research with Guido Erreygers which aims to:
1. elaborate how the concept of ‘health poverty’ can be defined and measured, and;
2. apply this methodology to study health poverty in a variety of cases.
Although not entirely new, the notion of health poverty is seldom used – in contrast to the notion of income poverty. After examining measures of income poverty such as the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) class of poverty indicators we consider how they can be employed with health measures such as the risk of chronic diseases and mortality. We use this approach to obtain a robust estimate of the extent of health poverty in Australia and attempt to measure its evolution over time using data from the HILDA’s survey.

Presenter Professor Philip Clarke was, until recently, Director of the Centre for Health Policy at University of Melbourne and from September will become the Director of Health Economics
Research Centre at the University of Oxford, UK. His research interest include evaluating policies to improve the management of people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, health
inequalities and the use of simulation models to inform health economic evaluation. He has also undertaken policy relevant research for the World Bank, OECD, AusAID and DoH and is
on the Lancet Commission on Diabetes.

Event Details

The SPR 2018 Conference will bring together leaders from across the Health Sector that have the potential to influence improvements in system performance.

System Performance Reporting (SPR) is Queensland Health’s reporting platform for performance information. The vision for SPR was to provide transparent and credible information to empower our workforce and provide them with clarity on how the performance of their hospital compares to similar hospitals; and how their performance contributes to the Hospital and Health Service and ultimately to that of Queensland.

AusHSI is a proud sponsor of a breakfast session on health economics, to be facilitated by Professor Nick Graves on Friday 10th August.

Decisions about adopting new healthcare

more

Event Details

Decisions about adopting new healthcare interventions should be supported by the best available evidence on their safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, evidence is never certain and so is any decision based on that evidence. This uncertainty may lead to suboptimal decisions with costly consequences to the health system. Clearly, collecting more information may reduce uncertainty; however, there is a cost for conducting additional research. Value of Information (VOI) analysis is a systematic approach to quantify the value of additional research in reducing decision uncertainty. It compares the expected research monetary benefit with its expected cost to inform whether additional research is worthwhile, optimally design research studies and set research priorities.

This seminar will outline the available datasets and linkage services for health researchers as well as provide information about the approval process to access data from the Statistical Services Branch, Queensland Department of Health. This will assist current health researchers, who are working on or planning projects that use linked health record data such as hospital admissions or perinatal data.

Event Details

Join Professor Elizabeth Teisberg, co-author of Redefining Health Care, and her colleagues Profs. Scott Wallace and Alice Andrews for this two-day, highly-interactive workshop on implementing value-based health care. The workshop curriculum will reflect the latest innovations studied at the Value Institute for Health and Care at the Dell Medical School in Austin, Texas.

Participants in the workshop will learn why value-based health care is essential and how to begin creating and implementing high-value care. The workshop format combines case discussions of successful high-value care models with overview presentations and implementation frameworks that participants can readily deploy. Participants will explore implementation cases from Europe and the United States, including the musculoskeletal care center at the new University of Texas Dell Medical School. Participants will learn about organizing care around medically-relevant patient segments, identifying opportunities to improve current services, measuring meaningful outcomes, accelerating learning in clinical teams, and succeeding with new payment models.

If you are making the transition from volume-to-value, we hope you will join us.

Event Details

The World Hospital Congress of the International Hospital Federation (IHF) is a unique global forum that brings together key drivers of national and international policy, management, financial trends and solutions in healthcare management and service delivery. Through this forum multidisciplinary exchanges of knowledge, expertise and experience are facilitated, together with dialogue on best practices in leadership in hospital and healthcare management and delivery of services.

The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association is honoured to host the 2018 IHF World Hospital Congress in Brisbane on 10-12 October 2018. Health leaders from around the world will be heading to Brisbane to discuss key issues around the shift to value-based care, the role of hospitals in the broader medical neighbourhood and how data and technology are transforming healthcare delivery.

Event Details

AusHSI, in collaboration with Flinders University, the University of Adelaide, Qld Health Metro North HHS and the SA Academic Health Science and Translation Centre will run a 3 day Knowledge Translation Course, 26 – 28 November 2018, at Flinders University, Adelaide SA.

About the course

Have you ever tried to get a new guideline or piece of evidence into your everyday practice, and been surprised by how long it took and how complex it was? Did you struggle to measure the project’s success?

This workshop covers three-days of highly interactive and outcome focused content that covers the essential skills and knowledge needed to facilitate the implementation of evidence and innovation into everyday practice.
